EDITORIAL NOTES.

The Supreme court having refused to grant the request of the counsel for the anarchists, their only hope is in Governor Oglesby, and there is no probability that he will help them. Their dreadful punishment has been slow in overtaking them, but it is very nea1 now.
 Roumania is making 8 strong effort to build up it's local industries. A law has been passed enacting that every person who establishes factory worth $1,000 and em- ploys twe1sty~five workmen for five months in the year can set up his buildings on crown property, ground being allotted to him on a lease for ninety years.
 Beer has been the means of reducing drunkenness, vice, crime, debauchery and sickness among the inmates of the Dayton, Ohio, soldiers home, say the officers of that institution. A beer hall was opened in the home little over year ego in the hope that it would attract the soldiers away from hard liquors, and it has, with the result that only half as many arrests are now made for drunk enness as there used to be.
 Internal Revenue Collector Brunshaw of Atlanta, Georgia, says that the effect of pro hibition has been to increase the liquor pro- duction ot the State. There were thirty dis tilleries in the State before the amendment was passed and now there are sixty-three. The amount of taxes collected on spirits has largely increased, and if the present ratio is kept up for the rest of the year it will ex- ceed that of 1886 by $75, 900. These are in teresting facts for the prohibitionists.
 Blood is put to a queer use in large fac- tory in Bridgeport, near Chicago, where from 5000 to 10000 gallons are used daily in making buttons About one hundred men and boys are employed in the factory. The blood must be fresh beef blood. A MT. Hirsch was the first to introduce the busi- ness, some years ago, and is now immensely wealthy. Much of the blood evaporates in tho process of drying, but the pure albumen remains Blood sheets are used by cloth manufacturers for "setting" the color in calico goods. These sheets broken up will make buttons, earrings, breastpins, belt clasps, combs, and even door knobs. There are a number of "blood" utilizing factories in England and blood door knob factory in Trenton, New Jersey.
 The Chicago Herald calls attention to the instructive fact that in 1792 several anti poverty associations joined forces in France and seized the public thing, the republic. They took all the land they thought had been "stolen from the people," When the 1 State got the land the State knew not what tc do with it. It had no value because no sant l Frenchman wanted to buy French land; h' wanted to sell if he owned any. So the re | public issued money-assignats. If mar did not like the money it was redeemable 1T | land The circulation of these assignat 1 soon exceeded all bounds The main resul | of this land reform was to impoyerish thu | royal emigrants. AS for the anti-povert. | poor, want settled more disastrously upol
 them. It is not on record that solitar. financial law of the French revolution fed
 sans culotte who would have otherwise gon
 hungry. Paris and France were gaunter il
 the third year than they had been previou to the Convention of the States General
